hey guys i have a question, i don't know this is the appropriate topic to ask this but maybe: what's the difference between the old ub, ja2 maps and the new 1.13 maps and how can i convert some old map to the new format?
thanks

@darkmajor: you used an old ja2 ub exe file which does not work with the latest gamedir files. you have to compile your own executable from the latest source or wait for someone who does the job for you.

So DepressivesBrot's latest exe is still too old? So if I have to compile one my self could someone give me a guide? Or is that too much too explain?

i have been trying for almost 2 days in a row to make Shady-Job and SOG69-Vietnam working with 1.13 but with no results.
I first tried with the latest game dir (as per OP) than with other Gamedir (but was never successful). Also tried "JA2_rev.4870_2011_GameDir" or "Release 7435: 25 October, 2014 (Build: 7609)"

I always get errors, sometime game crash on start and sometimes game start but i get the initial black screen with various errors (red) and missing file (yellow) and have to 'esc' to quit.

Is there a "safe" way to make these mods working? Which gamedir should i use with which exe version? Everything is so confused ... this game is lasted so long and there are posts on posts as you would expect ...

I am lost, tried SOG69-Vietnam on non-modified version of JA2 and it is so nice, it would be great to play it with 1.13 features.

Anyone have an idea?!

NOTE: I am using Windows 7 64bit, modded game on D: drive not in program filesX86 ...

I can confirm, a year later admittedly (yes yes, don't bump old threads), that this is still a problem. The same bug for Vietnam as here. If that link doesn't work for you for some reason, the main error message is:
